I just had to share this one for my fellow Exchange guys. We just finished the MSG205 Microsoft Exchange Server 2007: The Next Generation of Exchange presentation by Terry Myerson of the Exchange team. During his presentation he said (and DO NOT quote this, I am paraphrasing):
“And Public Folders are present in 2007. They will be present in the future versions too.”
Forget the PF controversy for a moment. As he said the above about two people cheered it, followed by a second of silence and then a resounding boo from the entire room. Right now in the presentation on SharePoint 2007 and looking at the technical overview…. can we just let PFs die? I’m sorry if you hired incompetent programmers that designed information management software on top of public folders but its time to get modern.
Update: Thanks for all the emails folks. Glad you're enjoying the updates. Blog comments are off, will remain off till I get back to Orlando with time to moderate them.
